Guyton men arrested on drug charges

Two repeat meth offenders from Guyton were arrested last week outside the courthouse in Springfield.

The drug suppression unit of the Effingham County Sheriff’s Office got a tip that the pair were on their way to the courthouse and that they had drugs on them.

Deputies stopped 30-year-old Robert Stanley Davis and 44-year-old James Grover last Thursday in a vehicle outside the courthouse, according to sheriff’s spokesman David Ehsanipoor.

They found methamphetamine and Roxicodone inside of the vehicle and hidden in an orifice in Davis’s body.

They also discovered a meth lab at Grover’s residence in the 200 block of Southern Charm Way.

Grover was arrested and charged with possession of methamphetamine, unlawful possession of pseudoephedrine and conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.

Davis was charged with criminal attempt to manufacture methamphetamine, unlawful sale and possession of pseudoephedrine and possession of methamphetamine.

Davis was arrested on several meth-related charges including trafficking methamphetamine in April of 2012 as well as manufacturing methamphetamine in October 2012. He was out on bond at the time of the arrest last week.
